flour 1 tb salt 1 lb sweet butter 12 egg yolks

Scald milk and cool to lukewarm. Add yeast, 1 c. sugar and 2 c flour. This
is your sponge. Let it rise about 30 minutes. In a large bowl, sift in the
rest of the flour, salt and remaining sugar. With your fingertips, work
butter into the dry ingredients, then add yolks and the yeast sponge. Stir,
then work with your hands until quite thick. Knead the dough on a board
sprinkled with flour until it becomes smooth and elastic. You may have to
add more flour to make for easier handling. Cover and let rise about 1 - 1
/2 hours. Punch down and knead again for a few minutes. Cover and let rise
again for 30 minutes.
